All day there will be a show and shine, an Artisan Alley for anyone shopping for hand made items, and a kids zone.
In order to support the community a Place of Reflection is being maintained by the city beside the Katzie First Nation flag and guests of the celebrations are being encouraged to take a moment to consider the painful parts of Canada’s history as it relates to the country’s past and current relations with Indigenous communities – and how to move forward together and support reconciliation.
Finally local musicians, visual artists, and performers will be taking part in the event through the Artists in our Parks program that has been launched for the summer season.
